Pre-Credits Gag: Hey, look, Stephanie’s wearing her glasses again! Anyway, Danny comes home from a parent-teacher meeting and tells Stephanie that he found out that she’s having trouble with fractions but it’s ok because he’s going to make the whole family help her out. Premise! Then Michelle runs in and alerts everyone that Jesse and Becky have just returned from their honeymoon. Dang, double-premise, and all contained within the pre-credits gag. Someone must have just come back from a writer’s workshop or something.

Jesse and Becky are greeted by about 2 solid minutes of hugging from every single cast member of the full house, including the dog. Jesse says that their trip to Bora Bora was the shit and that they filmed everything so the family could see it, and then Becky’s like, “well, everything except all of the hot naked fucking!” Becky then tells Jesse that he should probably start packing up his shit so he can move into her house because it’s no longer a sin. Michelle is confused by the situation and Jesse explains that now that he’s found himself a sugar momma, he’s gonna mooch off of her instead of Danny so he’s gotta move out. Aunt Becky tries to console Michelle by explaining the concept of moving day but Michelle willfully misinterprets that the whole family will be moving in with Becky.

Joey tries to help Stephanie with fractions by slicing up her favorite dessert, a single Hostess cupcake on a plate. His efforts are foiled when DJ and Kimmie Gibbler come in and eat the cupcake, but I have to say that I’m totally amazed to see Joey doing something that a reasonable intelligent adult might do to try to help a kid learn fractions. He didn’t even talk like Popeye or anything. Don’t get me wrong, his efforts still failed, but I think that this is the least incompetent thing he’s ever done. Anyway, Joey leaves and then DJ starts to get on Stephanie’s case about when she’s gonna move into Jesse’s old room. Stephanie is hesitant to give up sharing a room but DJ really can’t wait to have all those walls to herself to cover with George Michael posters.

As Jesse packs up the last of his shit, he and Danny reminisce with great sentimentality about the time they’ve spent together. This leads to a lengthy clip from the first episode, which served no purpose other to remind me that Danny used to stand way closer to everyone when he talked to them. He still kinda looks like he might kiss everyone when he’s talking to them, but back in the early days he was a way creepier close-talker.

Anyway, Danny comments on how Jesse’s still the same 1-dimensional character he was when the series started and then he thanks him for living in his house for 4 years and eating all of his fried chicken. They hug and then everyone else comes in and then they all hug.

Michelle comes in the room with her suitcase and announces that she’s all ready to move to Aunt Becky’s. Danny explains that Jesse’s the only one that’s moving over there and Michelle gets all pissed and shouts, “but we’re supposed to be a big happy family!” before running out of the room. What a ridiculous thing to yell when you’re upset. Jesse goes into Michelle’s room to have one of their, “world famous talks,” and explains that now that they’re married, Aunt Becky’s givin’ it up like crazy and he can’t have a bunch of lame kids all up in his business all the time. Michelle says that she’s really upset because he won’t be around to wait on her at all times anymore and the music comes on. Dang, I don’t know if they’ve ever resorted to playing the music in the middle of an episode before, but this episode’s working over-time to be as ultra-contrived as possible. At the end of the longest, most drawn-out goodbye in the history of television, there’s this incredibly lengthy zoom-in of Michelle after someone put some drops in her eyes, and it actually made me laugh uncontrollably. I think that might be the only time in the entire process of watching this show that I’ve actually laughed really hard at something, but, dang, you guys, look at that stupid kid.

As if that weren’t hilarious enough all on it’s own, it’s followed by another incredibly long, slow zoom-in of Uncle Jesse standing right outside of her door, crying like a punk bitch. Oh, man, that’s comedy gold! I had to go lay down I laughed so hard.

As Jesse brings the last of his stuff into Becky’s place, he starts talking about how shitty all of her decorum is and starts making plans to put all of his shit everywhere. Becky tries to diffuse the situation by offering up some hot sex on the couch but Jesse starts thinking about Michelle and is unable to perform sexually. He totally ignores his wife’s moist vagina by staring off into the distance and singing a slow, sad rendition of the teddy bear song he used to sing to Michelle.

In what is probably the most artful segue in the history of the series, the scene switches over to Joey and Danny singing that very same teddy bear song to Michelle, who says that they suck without Uncle Jesse.

Meanwhile, DJ revels in finally having her own room while Stephanie feels sad about being by herself.

In the morning, Danny brings a plate of pancakes to the family at the breakfast table and Michelle takes them all and says, “you’d better make more, these people look hungry.” Seconds later, Jesse and Becky enter the house and Jesse starts kissing everybody. Joey actually recaps the events that happened seconds before to Jesse, including an impression of Michelle saying the obnoxious one-liner. Not only did I really not need a recap of something I just saw, but that’s gotta be the most self-congratulating moment I’ve ever seen on tv.

Everyone agrees that it was really funny and Jesse’s like, “God damn it, I can’t believe I missed such a hilarious moment! What’s wrong with me that I moved out of this house full of obnoxious, showboating assholes to go live with my rich, hot wife?”

Danny uses their broken family to explain fractions to Stephanie, who is able to comprehend that Jesse and Becky make up 2/7’s of their family while the remaining 5/7’s of them still live in the full house. I don’t know why that’s easier to understand than cupcakes. Anyway, the kids all leave for school except Michelle, who asks Jesse if he’ll sing her the teddy bear song that night. All of a sudden Becky remembers that their apartment is being fumigated so they need to sleep in the attic of the full house that night, and everyone is pretty excited to have a pajama party.

As Jesse and Becky lay awake on their twin cots in the attic, she admits to him that she made up the fumigation because she thought that he missed his family. She goes on to explain that she talked to Danny about renovating the attic and she wants the two of them to live up there. The music comes on (for the second time this episode!) as Jesse says that he couldn’t ask her to make such a sacrifice for him but she explains that when she married him she pretty much gave up all of her hopes and dreams so at this point it doesn’t really matter. It’s really weird that there’s this whole dynamic here that Jesse needs to be convinced about moving back into the full house when Becky is clearly the one who shouldn’t want to live there. Regardless, as soon as Jesse agrees, Becky runs to the stairs and calls the members of the full house so they can all hug as gentle music plays.

Joey explains that his and Jesse’s studio is going to be moved into the basement and he’s gonna take Jesse’s old room, so Stephanie is going to move back in with DJ. Stephanie gloats all up in DJ’s face as she laments having to readjust her George Michael posters all over again. As the family all stand around grinning like idiots, Michelle demands that they sing her the teddy bear song, ushering in a new era of even more annoying people living in the full house.

Firsts: 2 musics, Aunt Becky lives in the full house

It simply amazes me that in the span of only one week we go from the ultra hot piece of leg Rebecca Donaldson to the boring, one dimensional, considerably less hot Aunt Becky. Nice work, Full House. What’s next, are you going to take Kimmie Gibbler away from us too? Hey, where’s that girl been?

You are absolutely right! This has to do with math and I suck at the subject and I just know a few fractions. Schools want to teach algebra to kids under the age of 8 because when your brain goes through puberty along with the rest of you, it is not easy to learn complex subjects. Kids who were math geniuses saw a slight drop in grades when algebra was taught and the kids who weren’t as good in math were basically screwed!

And why didn’t the adults fully explain to the moppet exactly what was going to happen once Uncle Jesse & Aunt Becky got married? Wouldn’t you want to prepare a preschooler for such a major household change? No, let’s wait until the absolute last minute – until it’s actually HAPPENING – so she can be totally confused and devastated.

Sixth frame capture down –> Uncle Jesse looks like a creepy A & F mannequin. I can practically smell the musky cologne from here!

I would like to hereby officially validate your reasoning, SZA. I could totally see the whole gang tagging along, complete with fucking Beach Boys cameo. The fact they DIDN’T go only further alludes to the unspeakable depths to which Uncle Jesse must have laid his Greek pipe. The depravity.

The fact that I can see that episode happening in my head alludes to the fact that I have wasted too many hours watching this shit. The fact that you can create that most-likely “two-parter” points to the fact that the Full House writers have become so formulaic that casual viewers can write their episodes for them 😛

You know, I always just assumed this season ended with the wedding, since shows always put their weddings at the end of a season, and it wasn’t until I noticed the episode number of the last episode that I realized this was not the case. Seems odd that they wouldn’t close out the season with the wedding, but, well, Full House certainly is odd.

This is probably one of the most ridiculous episodes yet, simply because it cements the “grown adults cowtow to the whims of a toddler rather than live their own lives in their own house” mentality of the show for the rest of its run.

Hey, look, Stephanie’s wearing her glasses again

I’ll be damned…

Someone must have just come back from a writer’s workshop or something.

Ha!

Becky then tells Jesse that he should probably start packing up his shit so he can move into her house because it’s no longer a sin.

That seems like the sort of thing that should have been planned out earlier. Like, “welcome back from the honeymoon. Grab your shit, let’s go!” Who does that?

Joey tries to help Stephanie with fractions by slicing up her favorite dessert, a single Hostess cupcake on a plate.

Continuity, or cheap production values? You decide!

As Jesse brings the last of his stuff into Becky’s place, he starts talking about how shitty all of her decorum is and starts making plans to put all of his shit everywhere.

Again, none of this should be new and shocking to Jersey. Did he spend NO time at Rebecca Donaldson’s house when they were dating/engaged? Did they not discuss decorating her house or where Jersey’s stuff would go? Did he not realize until now that moving out meant leaving Michelle behind?

who says that they suck without Uncle Jesse.

Well, for once, she’s probably right…

Man, I feel bad for DJ. She really got the shaft in this episode, in terms of getting teased with getting her own room before having it snatched away. If I were her, I’d be like, “to hell with Michelle, I want my own room!”

The domain fullhousereviewed.com has been purchased and should premiere before next Friday

yeah, i really thought they would have saved the wedding for the finale, too. this episode really seems like a season premiere, especially at the beginning when becky and jesse come back and they have this really long, drawn-out greeting from everyone so it’s made to seem like we haven’t seen these characters in a while. what was it all for?

the decision for them to move into the full house is ridiculous for so many reasons. it sort of resembles the episode where michelle kills her fish, in that there is a scene where the family is all having breakfast together and are clearly adjusting just fine to jesse having moved out but the plot persists. “time heals all wounds” is a lesson never learned on full house. it also seems really nonsensical to me that becky talks to danny and the rest of the family about moving upstairs before talking to jesse about it, then she acts like she pulled one over on him or something when he does agree. When she calls the family upstairs, she exclaims, “he went for it!” as if jesse wasn’t clearly more desperate than anyone to move back into the full house.

also, yeah, why dont the uncles just rent a studio space for their dumb ass job doing… i’m not even sure what these guys do for a living anymore, but i know that if i was dj, i’d sure as shit be unwilling to give up having my own room for it. and why’s it so totally out of the question that michelle would give up having her own room?

finally, i just totally can’t believe for a second that becky would agree to live in the attic of the full house when she’s newly married and has a really nice place of her own. it’s stated at least once this episode that her place is only a 10 minute walk from the full house… couldn’t there just be 2 sets from now on? what is there to gain from cramming as many obnoxious white people as possible into one house?

That’s a really good point about how Michelle has her own room. She’s old enough now, you’d think DJ, as the older sister, would have more claim on a room than Michelle. Then again, in the Full House-verse, the world revolves around Michelle, so I guess we should just be happy they haven’t built a castle for her yet.

And seriously, the episode mentions Becky’s house being 10 minutes away? I’d totally forgotten that, which makes the whole thing even more ridiculous.

In reply to how D.J. should say fuck the midget and she wants her own room. I agree %100. Why in the Hell that ugly baby had a room all to herself for so long baffles me to this day. D.J. needed that room from the get-go and the devil spawn should have bunked with Stephanie.

I always wondered, between the basement becoming a studio, and the attic becoming Jesse and Becky’s place, where did the family store all their stuff? I don’t remember them having a garage. Maybe they had a public storage, but damn with a family that big you’d think they’d have a lot of crap to store away. And congrats on the domain name!

Ohhh, Lisa. Now imagining what a realtor might say if having to list the full house.
“Four bedroom house in San Francisco. Living room features alcove for storage of creepy mannequins, and a place to put a giant stuffed panda. Kitchen features cabinetry redone in one afternoon, with a breakfast nook and a cabinet for storage of fish and whipped cream. Back door leading to back yard has doorbell for no reason. Backyard accessible through the front, but we’re not sure how. Refinished basement has a recording studio with a half-bath that contains an intercom. Red light in kitchen lets you know that recording is happening in the studio. One bathroom upstairs, none seen downstairs. Fully finished two-bedroom attic apartment. Price listed as Your Immortal Soul. Please see realtor for details.”
Screw the hotel from The Shining. This place is the Winchester Mystery House.

Great Review, as always. I am getting so antsy now that I have caught up with all the reviews and was hoping you could just abandon your life and dedicate it to doing more reviews a week? Ha! I kid, but Fridays are a delicious treat even more now.

P.S. SUPER Kudos on finally getting compensated for your talent, well deserved. You might need to reinvest it in therapy once you are done with the series though.

Jesse crying about leaving is about the lamest plot element ever in this show. I remember this episode perfectly, and I remember being really annoyed by that. Michelle being upset makes sense. She’s a toddler and just had this dumped on her that her beloved Uncle Jersey is moving out. However, he is a full-grown adult who had a life (of sorts, I guess…) before moving in to the full house. I can’t ever possibly imagine an uncle or an aunt being all distraught and teary-eyed over moving houses. Quite a reach there.

It seems like since they already had Rebecca Donaldson’s house set that they would use it to create a little variety to this show. It’s not as if Jersey isn’t still going to be around all the time “working” with Uncle Joey and stealing Danny Tanner’s fried chicken.

By the way, I have another question – totally unrelated to this specific episode, but when do any members of the full house get the chance to take a shit? Seriously. Does it even happen? It must! But when? Where?? And who is buying DJ’s Tampax?

Actually, they do reference the fact that people fight over the bathroom in season 8 (which is a long time away from reaching here). It’s a part of the reason some of the full housers consider…DUN DUN DUN…moving out.

“but I have to say that I’m totally amazed to see Joey doing something that a reasonable intelligent adult might do to try to help a kid learn fractions”

This cracked me up. I’m still trying to figure out why Joey was invited to the Full House in the first place.

Upon watching this episode recently, i couldnt help but laugh out loud at Jesse’s crying! Really? You’re a grown ass man & you’re crying because you’re a 2 minute drive away from somebody else’s baby? Up until this moment, I understood Rebecca Donaldson. You see, Uncle Jesse is hot. He’s a beautiful, beautiful man. Up until this moment, his hotness was worth his general uselessness. However, at this point, Rebecca Donaldson should have gotten this marriage annulled. Any man who cries about having to leave the likes of Michelle 2 minutes away is not worth her time. If he were RICH & hot, it’d be tolerable. But yeah, even Uncle Jesse isn’t hot enough to make that display forgivable.

Got a direct msg on twitter from uncle Joey himself asking me to give a shout out for his new web based show!!! Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel!!! Also this show stars him and Stephanie, what a shit combination

I don’t think anyone has mentioned here that not only is Aunt Becky moving in with her husband’s self-absorbed shitfest of a family, but she’s also moving in with her coworker/boss (can’t remember if Danny is her boss or not). What a solid plan.

I have watched every damn episode of Full House and I even own the damn seasons on DVD, and I hate this damn episode the most of all.
I always pisses me off how Jesse bends to the demands of a deformed troll-doll, and dismisses his wife just to appease that bitchy midget. I can’t wait until this site reviews the episode before the last one when that pint-sized hussy falls and hits her head.

I was waiting so long for this review to see your reaction to this episode. Michelle is so bratty in this episode and it seems like Jesse only gives a crap about Michelle. He never really did care about Stephanie or DJ.

Then Michelle runs in and alerts everyone that Jesse and Becky have just returned from their honeymoon.

So now they let Michelle stand outside, unattended. Seriously, isn’t she like four?! How the hell else would she know the exact second they pulled up. And for Pete sakes, let them walk in the door and breath before jumping their bones. Fuck.

Michelle says that she’s really upset because he won’t be around to wait on her at all times anymore and the music comes on.

And THIS moment, right here, is where the whole series went to complete shit, moreso than before. Why? Because this is the start of Michelle, LITERALLY, getting her way every single moment for the duration of the show. Oh Michelle doesn’t want Jesse to move out, OKAY! We won’t move out! Problem solved. Thanks Michelle.

“I’m totally amazed to see Joey doing something that a reasonable intelligent adult might do to try to help a kid learn fractions. He didn’t even talk like Popeye or anything. Don’t get me wrong, his efforts still failed, but I think that this is the least incompetent thing he’s ever done.”

I do believe that the character of Joey is alot smarter than whoever wrote this blog, that’s for sure lmfao.

“Becky tries to diffuse the situation by offering up some hot sex on the couch but Jesse starts thinking about Michelle and is unable to perform sexually. He totally ignores his wife’s moist vagina by staring off into the distance and singing a slow, sad rendition of the teddy bear song he used to sing to Michelle.”

OMG Seriously? You need to get a life and watch your vulgar mouth. Full House is a FAMILY show.

Wait so Aunt Becky decided to move into the Full House because Jesse was upset over Michelle being sad over him moving out? What. The. Fuck.

So basically, anytime someone does something that upsets Michelle, they instantly go back on their original plans to accommodate for her feelings, what a spoiled little bitch. You always go on how the Full House is a living entity and sucks the life out of anyone who enters, but in reality it’s that obnoxious little brat. She’s like some kind of terrible disease and get stronger and stronger as time goes by and once she gets her teeth sinked into you, there’s no escape.

So while Jersey and Aunt Becky were on their honeymoon, Michelle was completely unfazed/didn’t miss Jersey at all? Maybe it was addressed in the episode but not the recap – but did she not give a shit that he was gone on his honeymoon but only when he comes back and actually packs his shit that it becomes an issue?

It came on this morning. It really was a catering to Michelle. Most would be like, “Sorry, see ya”. TEN MINUTES?! Really? Becky what were you thinking in giving up your privacy? And for all that she was spoiled with, this may have been the only episode that we’ve seen Michelle cry (aside from her infant years) when she initially didn’t get her way.

At the end of the longest, most drawn-out goodbye in the history of television, there’s this incredibly lengthy zoom-in of Michelle after someone put some drops in her eyes, and it actually made me laugh uncontrollably. I think that might be the only time in the entire process of watching this show that I’ve actually laughed really hard at something, but, dang, you guys, look at that stupid kid.

As if that weren’t hilarious enough all on it’s own, it’s followed by another incredibly long, slow zoom-in of Uncle Jesse standing right outside of her door, crying like a punk bitch. Oh, man, that’s comedy gold! I had to go lay down I laughed so hard.

As if that weren’t hilarious enough all on it’s own, it’s followed by another incredibly long, slow zoom-in of Uncle Jesse standing right outside of her door, crying like a punk bitch. Oh, man, that’s comedy gold! I had to go lay down I laughed so hard.

When I first saw this episode, I was torn between feeling bad for him and laughing my ass off. Now as an adult, it’s “laughing my ass off” all the way.

HAHA OH MAN I RETRACT MY COMMENT ON THE ONE WEDDING POST WHERE I SAID WE NEVER SEE UNCLE JESSE BE NOT MACHO AROUND REBECCA DONALDSON. THE VERY SECOND SHE BECOMES AUNT BECKY… THERE IT IS. HIM CRYING IN A CORNER AND DEMANDING TO REMAIN AS A STAY AT HOME PARENT.

Oh, Aunt Becky.

I was just joking to my friend that I couldn’t remember what happened but that I sincerely hoped Uncle Jesse would make Aunt Becky move back into the full house rather than them living like a married adult couple in the large home she earned through her career.

So I’m on a research station on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia as I re-read this post, and the Teddy Bear song, which I’ve never heard outside of this show, started playing on a cruise ship docked offshore. Spooky!

This could possibly be the worst full house episode ever, simply because it sums up all the problems of the show, the fact that the whole universe revolves around that troll doll Michelle.

So Jesse and Becky have to spend the rest of their life as a married couple under the same roof as Green Goblin’s deformed spawn just so she doesn’t cwie. Suck it up bitch! You’ll never get everything you want, you need to deal with it. Not everyone should conform to your wants. But of course the show gives her everything on a silver fucking plater next to her solid gold dildo.

It’s not even a problem in the first place. Their house is only a 10 minute walk away from their house. Just get someone to walk her to the house and she can hang out with Jesse all she wants. Hell nothing is preventing Jesse or Becky from coming over. This is a non-issue! Especially on a sitcom where the main characters are always in the same house anyway.

That scene on the couch was quite disturbing to be honest. If I was Rebecca and my new husband was basically ignoring me to reminisce and sing about his niece I’d be filing for an annulment the next day.
